I'm trying to have multiple panels such as health bars, a frame, a portrait frame and an inventory but I can't seem to get it right. Each time I do it my frame comes out right but then I try to add the rest and they just make the frame repeat itself. I have read the panel tutorial and skimmed through some of the others but can't figure out how to do it. Please let me know ASAP because I'm really trying to enter the beginner's contest.

Ok I think I got that part figured out. I realized that one of my lines was repeating the frame.pcx or whatever so I changed them to the filename they were supposed to be and I think it fixed it. Now I just gotta play with the positions and work on the other parts of them. We'll see how this turns out I suppose.

Make sure you're setting your layers so that everything overlaps the way you want it to. The lower the layer number the further in the background your panel will be. Helps in organizing when you have multiple panels showing at the same time.

Thank you very much for that tip. I started really understanding a bit of that when I put my background and some overlapping things in.
